Using multiple accounts
Hi, Timelessnights9, my name is Qwyrxian, and I'm an administrator here at Wikipedia. I see that you've been having some troubles at Tim Kash--a disagreement about what information to include in the article. To be honest, after looking over the specific concerns, I'm inclined to agree that that information should probably remain out of the article. However, administrators don't have any special authority over article content--only over policies and guidelines. Instead, WWikipedia requires that editors work together collaboratively to determine what goes in articles, though all information must conform to our policies. One thing that we definitely don't allow is creating multiple accounts to try to force your own particular views on the article. This is called sock puppetry, and is strictly forbidden. By looking at some technical details, another admin was able to determine that you used multiple accounts (you can see more information at Sockpuppet investigations/Timelessnights9). Often, when this happens, we block all of the accounts until we are sure that you understand that this simply isn't allowed. Instead, what I have done in this case is block all of the other accounts, and left this one active. I want you be able to join the discussion at Talk:Tim Kash about the article. I'll be monitoring that discussion and providing input, as I am very concerned that negative information about a living person was allowed to remain with only dubious sources. However, if you again attempt to create more accounts, I will block this account as well.

Finally, I have to add one additional point. Another user has expressed a concern that you are Tim Kash, or are acting as his representative. If this is the case, I can certainly understand why unsourced negative information would concern you. However, because peopel are rarely able to write neutrally about themselves, their family, or their employers, we generally recommend that people with such a conflict of interest not edit the article directly, instead working through discussion on the articles talk page. In addition, we have an external system called OTRS that you can contact off wiki if you want to provide proof that you are this person (though you do not have to do so).

If you have any questions, post them here or on my talk page. As I said, I'll be watching the article and talk page as well. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:38, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
